(Verse 1)
[F]It was in the March of the Winter
I turned [Am]seventeen
That I [Dm]bought those pills
I [C]thought I would need
And I wr[F]ote a letter
To my fam[Am]ily
Said, "it's [Dm]not your fault
And you've been g[C]ood to me."
Just l[F]ately I've been feeling
Like I d[Am]on't belong
Like the [Dm]ground's not mine
To w[C]alk upon
And I've h[F]eard that music
Echo thr[Am]ough the house
Where my gra[Dm]ndmother drank
[C]By herself
And I s[F]at watching a flower
As it was [Am]withering
I was e[Dm]mbarrassed by
[C]Its honesty
So I'd pre[F]fer to be remembered
As a [Am]smiling face
Not this [Dm]fking wreck
[C]That's taken its place
[F] [Am] [Dm] [C]
(Chorus)
So please [F]forgive what I have done
No, you can't stay [Am]mad at the setting sun
'cause we all get [Dm]tired, I mean, eventually
There is nothing [C]left to do but sleep
F Am Dm C x3
(Verse 2)
But [F]Spring came, bearing sunlight
Those [Am]persuasive rays
So I [Dm]gave myself
A [C]few more days
My [F]salvation, it came, quite [Am]suddenly
When [Dm]Justin spoke, v[C]ery plainly
He said, "now, of [F]course it's your decision
But [Am]just so you know
If you [Dm]decide to leave
[C]Soon, I will follow"
F Am Dm C x2
(Verse 3)
I w[F]rote this for a baby
Who has [Am]yet to be born
My [Dm]brother's first child
I hope that [C]womb's not too warm
'cause it's [F]cold out here
And it'll b[Am]e quite a shock
To [Dm]breathe this air
To dis[C]cover loss
So I'd l[F]ike to make some changes
Befo[Am]re you arrive
So when your n[Dm]ew eyes meet mine
They won't [C]see no lies
Just love
[F]
Just love
[Am]
I will be pure
[Dm]
No, no, I know i will be pure
[C]
Like s[F]now, like [Am]gold
Like [Dm]snow, like g[C]old
Like sn[F]ow, like s[Am]now
Like go[Dm]ld, like go[C]ld, like gold
F Am Dm C x2
